  1. Our case: I-751 submitted March 2019 Biometrics- May 2019 I-751 approved- December 2022 I think our case was an outlier. Good luck. The I-751 is last difficult hurdle, imo.
  2. Then, she is fine. The visa expiration date was correctly calculated by the consulate......6 months after medical exam. I would not worry about this. Just marry within 90 days.....and I would submit the adjustment of status package within 90 days also. Good luck.
  3. When was her medical exam done? November? If so, the consulate incorrectly calculated the visa expiration date.
  4. As long as she entered before the expiration date on the visa, she is fine. The visa is now voided since she entered. You now have 90 days from the day she entered the US to marry. I would also submit the I-485 and other forms within 90 days also. Edit: Upon further examination, there MIGHT be an issue. See my next comment.
  5. She traveled on A/P from 2008 to 2017? Sounds like you meant after Green Card approval also.
  6. Sometimes, official notices lag behind this notification. Maybe good news is coming in a day or so. Good luck.
  7. Yes, you can. However, it might be much more cumbersome than a few years ago....especially for anyone remaining outside the US for an extensive amount of time. That would be my concern. Besides, the OP has stated he is not planning travel until Green Card is issued.
  8. This is something that I have thought about a lot. It seems to be that this policy could change with the stroke of a pen. But, I haven't seen any indication that will happen, and I'm not sure how they would implement such a change.
  9. My wife's case took 13 months from I-130 submission to spousal visa in hand......but that, as is your case also, irrelevant to the OP's case.
  10. Your plan may be a great one for you. We are just providing info. My concerns would be: 1. There is recent evidence that processing of I-129Fs might be slowing. This could mean a shift in USCIS priorities. So far, a few data miners have reported it. That hasn't shown up in the Visa Journey average processing time yet. 2. The limbo period between a K-1 marriage and receiving a Green Card is much more difficult than some have thought. Like I said, it's your journey. I hope it is a smooth one.
  11. No. A person cannot enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status. That is visa fraud. She will receive an interview letter when her case reaches the front of the queue at NVC for her consulate. Patience is the big key in US immigration.
  12. Not sure what you mean by "shotgun e-wedding via Utah". That is a viable, legal marriage in the eyes of USCIS and DOS. Our recommendations are the result of years of seeing many, many cases like your case. However,it's your decision and your journey. Life is full of choices and consequences. Good luck on your K-1. Remember that patience is the big key in US immigration as nothing happens as fast as we would like. Please keep us all updated and please continue your participation. Every experience adds valuable information to our database.
  13. If you mean the medical exam, there is good reason not to book it too early since all medical exams expire after 6 months. That determines the expiration date of an issued visa. Visas expire when the medical exam expires.
  14. **Old thread close for further comments. Please ask any questions as a new topic***
  15. You can get a joint sponsor if your current annual income and assets are not sufficient. On another topic, health care costs for a senior citizen should be a consideration when sponsoring parents. Good luck on your journey.
